Presentation transcript:

Theme is an idea that is repeated throughout a story that is a life lesson or the author's message. You must usually read between the lines, or make an inference, to discover the theme One story can have multiple themes *The theme is not the events of the story*

Alex's Mistake Alex was very frustrated when his parents said they would not buy him an iPod for the holidays. They told him to save up his own money, but he only had ten bucks to his name. He felt it wasn't fair that a boy in his class had both an iPod touch and an iPad at home, yet he had neither. The next day at school Alex saw the boy's iPod sticking out of his backpack on the floor, and the other boy was out of the room. Alex took it. Another student saw this happened, and told the teacher. Alex was punished and his parents were very disappointed, and Alex felt horrible.

Let’s Look at it Together What might the author want us to realize, learn, or think about after reading this? What happened in the story that would make you think this? (supporting details!)

Theme Alex’s Misake You must work to earn what you want. Nothing in life is free. You appreciate what you've worked hard for.

What’s the Theme? Jane really wants to buy herself a new treadmill. It would cost $700. However, for that much money each of her children could take golf lessons all summer. Her kids have never played golf before, and Jane feels it is important for her children to have new experiences and learn new skills. Jane decided she can just exercise by walking around the nearby park. The money will be used for the kids' golf lessons. Sometimes you must sacrifice something you want to help someone else.

What’s the Theme? The auditions for the school talent show were approaching. Aaron wanted to audition. He had been practicing break-dancing for a year, and really wanted to demonstrate his abilities. However, the idea of standing up in front of all of his classmates and teachers in the talent show was pretty intimidating. He thought about it and went back and forth. He finally decided he would go to the audition. Break dancing is something he loves to do, and as scary as the idea is, it's very exciting too. Be confident in yourself. Take risks and try new things, even if they are outside your comfort zone.
